Bioinformatician I

Overview

We currently are recruiting an outstanding data scientist to join our collaborative bioinformatics group. Our team partners closely with bench scientists and clinical researchers to generate insights into immune system function in health and disease. We strive to be involved throughout the research process, from study design and data generation to analysis, interpretation, and communication. We leverage a combination of statistical, computational, machine learning, and AI-assisted approaches to analyze complex, high-dimensional datasets and accelerate scientific discovery.

Responsibilities

As a member of our team, you will develop creative approaches at the intersection of data collection, integration, and analysis. You’ll work with a range of genomic, cellular, and clinical data types, adding statistical rigor to the experimental process. The ideal candidate will be enthusiastic about using data science and bioinformatic approaches to further our vision of a healthy immune system for every individual.

Qualifications

Requirements include strong analytical skills, proficiency in a modern programming language used in data science (e.g. R, Python, SAS, Matlab, Scala, Java, C++), excellent communication and time management skills, and the ability to work both collaboratively and independently. Candidates should be comfortable using modern AI-assisted tools and approaches as part of data analysis, programming, and scientific problem solving, and interested in continuing to develop these skills as the field evolves. Experience with machine learning methods (e.g., clustering, classification, dimensionality reduction) is desirable. Experience in the biological sciences, especially immunology, and bioinformatic analysis of high-throughput “-omics” data is preferred.The level I bioinformatician works under guidance while building domain and technical expertise. Requires a degree in bioinformatics, biostatistics, or other life science with a strong understanding of the principles of bioinformatics, and 0-3 years related experience following graduate studies.
